What's going on at the ESC 2010 in CMR


From the topics listed below, the focus has been on hands-on sessions and the use of CMR in heart failure and myocarditis. Personally, a bit disappointed to see so little of CMR represented in the meeting.

While talking about T2*


Its use represents one of the most significant reductions in death in particular patient groups. Luckily, most of our readers are already using it regularly, despite some only more rarely.

T2* LatAm Meeting


In August 16/17 Drs. Dudley Pennell, Gillian Smith and Taigang He from the Royal Bromptom lead a course for over 25 Latin American physicians on the use of CMR for T2* imaging of the heart and liver in Campinas, Brazil. The results of this course will lead to major standardizations of acquisitions and reading of these exams helping to augment the availability of CMR to thalassemia patients in the region.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy and CMR


A thorough review in Circulation regarding dilated cardiomyopathies covers in depth the use of CMR in these conditions. Interestingly the review is focused on clinicians but diagnostic approaches are very much covered by CMR. A definite citation article where CMR is regarded as having a central role.
